Go: Right Where You Already Are

Most of us hear the word "go" and think it means leaving. Packing a bag. Traveling somewhere far away. Doing something big, dramatic, and probably uncomfortable.

That's not quite what Jesus meant.

Right before Jesus left earth, he gave his followers one final instruction. We've come to call it the Great Commission, and it's usually summed up in one word: go. But when you look closely at what he actually said, "go" isn't asking anyone to leave their life behind. It's an invitation to see the life you're already living, your job, your neighborhood, your family, your everyday routine, as exactly the place where it starts.

You don't need a passport for this. You don't need a five-year plan. You just need to pay attention to where you already are.

Over four weeks, we're going to walk through what that actually looks like: at church, in your everyday world, in your city, and beyond it.
